Freas,^ City C!efk City of Kenai ~ November 12, 1~9 NOVE~ER 17, 1999 COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA As you are aware, your meeting on November 17, 1999 is also Student Government Day. Because of confusion that could arise for the students, there are three items on your November 17 agenda which do not appear on the students' agenda. They are Ordinance No. 1844-99, Resolution No. 99-62 and Resolution No. 99-65. The reason they could be confusing is because the ordinance will need to be introduced, have its second reading, and passed on the same evening, unless council decides to table it to go through the normal steps. If the ordinance is tabled, City Manager Ross would also want Resolutions No. 62 and 65 tabled because the ordinance appropriates some of the funding to cover contracts being awarded by the resolutions. The students will attend to the calling to order, pledge, etc. and then Resolutions No. 61, 63 and 64. After making their reports, the students' portion of the agenda will be completed and a break will be taken. When council l:esumes the meeting, you will complete the public hearings (Ordinance No. 1844-99, Resolutions 99-62 and 99'-65). All the items will be included on the portion of the agenda that is advertised in the paper. Remember, during the portion of the meeting with the students, action will be considered by the students and then the council for each separate resolution. In the past, a motion to ratify actions of the students (or make adjustments) is considered by council after resuming the meeting. If you have questions, please call me. I will be going to the school on Monday morning to discuss the format, etc. with the students which may help them in their meeting roll on Wednesday night. cc: Department Heads > <o~[~ ~~ ~° > 0 Z 0 ~0 ¢8~~~-~~o STUDENT GO~RNMENT DAY Mayor (1)' Council Members (6)' City Manager (1).

The procedure follows requirements of an F~ Advisory Circular and is based on qualifications of consultants. Once the most qualified consultant is identified, fees are then negotiated. In our process, we first solicited statements of qualifications and experience. Seven were received and evaluated by the committee, composed of one representative from the Airport (Rebecca Cronkhite), one representative from the Fire Department (Jason Elson), and one representative from Public Works (myself). We each assigned points to eight specific criteria and arrived at a total for each consultant. The three totals were averaged, and the three firms with the highest average totals were invited to give a presentation to the committee. The three firms selected were Cash Barner, Kluge and Associates, and Kumin and Associates. After checking references and evaluating presentations, the committee met to select consultants. There was not a strong consensus on the top choice as all three firms were considered by the committee to be quite capable of performing the work. The committee gave two votes to Cash Barner, one vote to Kluge and Associates, and no votes to Kumin and Associates. Since we did not have a unanimous decision to award both projects to one firm, the decision was made to separate the projects. This isn't always possible, but the Maintenance Shop project can easily stand alone, as it appears it will not be located on the same site as the Fire Station/Warm Storage project. At this time we will only do design development for the Maintenance Shop using a non site- specific concept and finalize the plans when we get funding. The Fire Station/VVarm Storage facility will be fully designed anticipating FAA funding. Memo to Rick Ross Page 2 November 10, 1999 This decision also recognizes the prior experience, strengths, and workload of the firms involved. Bill Nelson has performed prior work on the Maintenance Shop design conceptual drawings and is part of the Kluge and Associates team. Wince-Cortheli- Bryson has extensive experience with FAA on the Kenai Airport and has recently completed the ALP portion of the Airport Master Plan. Wince-CorthelI-Bryson is part of the Cash Barner team and will do the civil, structural, surveying, and help coordinate the project with FAA. The recommendation is that we negotiate fees and award the Fire Station/Warm Storage complete design to Cash Bamer and the Maintenance Shop design development to Kluge and Associates.

Freas, City Clerk Newly appointed Commissioner Peters was welcomed to the meeting. ITEM 2' AGENDA APPROVAL Commissioner Eldridge requested discussion be placed at Old Business regarding comments made at the October 11, 1999 work session. Chairman Jahrig requested discussion be placed at Old Business regarding the coastal Waft/bluff restoration project. MOTION: Commissioner Eldridge MOVED for approval of the amended agenda and Commissioner Thompson SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. ORDERED.

ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD -- None. ITEM 5: REPORTS 5-a. Director Snug Harbor Fencing/Lights -- Jahrig referred to the memorandum included in the packet from Public Works Manager Komelis which informed the Commission Snug Harbor removed the li~ts and fencing from the dock property they formerly leased. Drift Boat Launch --.A general discussion followed regarding the comments made by Ranger Berkhahn at the October 11, 1999 Harbor Commission meeting (work session). Eldridge noted, Berkhahn explained State Parks would not support another take-out point in the lower river for such a small amount of users. It was noted, State Parks was not interested in placing a take-out at Birch Island or the Cone property (EVOS -pUrchased). Some of the reasoning for that decision is the additional costs involved in parking requirements, additional staffing, toilets and dumpsters. It was also noted State Parks was planning a bank restoration project below the bridge which would include development of handicap-accessible restrooms and paving the parking area. Berkhahn was interested in the possibility of placing a walkway from the parking area, under the bridge, to Birch Island. However with that would come additional parking needs, etc. which their budget would not allow at this time. With the possibility of the fiver become drift-only, State Parks will be considering changes for the future, but not at this time. a-bo Dock Foreman -- No report. 5-c. Scrapbook Information -- Commissioner Wemer-Quade reported she was still collecting newspaper clippings, photographs, etc. for the scrapbook.

It was noted there were not enough items to go to auction this year to make a sale worthwhile. It was suggested the equipment be sold during the Friends Book S'ale to be held during the next week. Former Library Director DeForest noted, because it is city equipment it has to be discarded through an outcry auction. Also, because-the book sale is run by the Friends, it would be inappropriate for them to sell the equipment. Heus asked if it would be different if the Friends contracted with the auctioneer. Moore noted the proceeds from the sale of the city equipment would go to the General Fund. DeForest noted, the book sale proceeds would go to the Friends. Moore stated he would discuss the matter with council. a-b. Friends of the Library Book Sale -- Commissioner Brown reported the Friends were having a book sale during the next week. They planned to organize the books on Friday. Although the library would be closed on November 11 for Veterans' Day, the sale would continue on Friday through Sunday. Holiday Open House -- Brown reported the Holiday Open House was planned for December and a children's Holiday Open House would be planned for December 5. The children's event will be promoted through Story Hour, a flier, and on the calendar. LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1999 PAGE 2 It was also noted the winter scenes painted on the library windows were done by Bunny Swan Gease. ITEM 6: OLD BUSINESS Discussion -- Review Library Intemet Policy Peters referred to the memorandum from City Attorney Graves and other information included in the packet. He noted that during the earlier conversation with Director Jankowska, it was suggested the Supreme Court citation be added to the information. Peters asked if there was a consensus of the Commission this should be done. The answer was yes. Brenckle asked what the consequence would be for someone who violates the Intemet policy. Jankowska noted the policy stated, "loss of computer privileges." Brenckle suggested the policy needed more definition, i.e. for how long the privileges would be revoked, etc. Jankowska reported she had checked other library policies through the states and found none that included a duration of privilege revocation. Rodes stated her husband suggested the policy should say, "...may lead to the suspension or revocation of your Intemet access..." (Adding the word "your".) There were no objections from the Commission. Commissioner Forbes reported she investigated other library policies as well, and noted there were many who included a disclaimer with the ..p01icy that said the library was not responsible for what appeareti" on the' Intemet except their own web pages. She suggested a disclaimer be added to the policy as well. There were no objections from the Commission. Several disclaimers were reviewed, peters stated he didn't think a policy should be too specific, i.e. if an age is included, then the library would have to police it. Jankowska agreed and stated it was difficult to police. Heus stated she thought someone should be watching. Jankowska noted the computers were equipped with privacy screens which made it very difficult for another persons to see what was on the screen. She added, if someone violates the rule, they would suspend their privileges. The discussion continued regarding elements of censorship, suggestions for a disclaimer. Jankowska noted, if a young person wants to use the computer and are under age, they need parent/guardian consent or parent/guardian accompanying them to use the Intemet. She added, the library staff did not ask for age. If the person looked young, they are asked if a parent came with them to the library. If they say no, they have them use the computer closest to the library staff. Forbes stated she thought it would be better to define the policy to say that parents are responsible for censoring and not the library, along with saying it is the parental responsibility, not the library's to know what their children are viewing. LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1999 PAGE 3 The discussion continued and it was noted parents must sign a library card application for a child. It was suggested an Intemet waiver be included on the library card. Harmg reported, at her school, a student must have parental permission to use the Intemet and when they want to use a computer to view the Intemet, they are given a sign to place on top of the monitor to identify they have permission to use the Intemet. Jankowska suggested a sticker be placed on the library card instead of placing something on the monitor. 6-b. School Library Survey-- Forbes reported the surveys had been copied and were ready to be distributed to the schools. She noted a change was made after the first question. If the student checks no, they are directed to not answer anymore questions. Hating added, the surveys would be distributed to the Middle School team teachers for distribution and those distributed at the high school would be done so in class. She also stated, she hoped to have the surveys returned and reviewed by Christmas. ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS -- None. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS/QUESTIONS Peters -- Stated he was looking forward to the holiday season and appreciated the participation of the schools, library staff, etc. Rodes -- Stated she would bring in books for the book sale. Haring -- Stated she looked forward to the results of the survey and added, she thought it would be successful. Brenckle -- Congratulated Forbes and Ha_ring for developing the survey and looked forward to the results. She noted, she thought the survey could generate interest in the library. Brenckle added, she thought it was a good idea to have a holiday get-together for the children at the library. Heus -- Noted the next Commission meeting was scheduled for December 7. Moore -- Stated he would take the question about the obsolete equipment to council for consideration and would request funding for the open house. Brown -- Urged the group to bring unwanted books to the library to sell.

A lengthy discussion took place on the proposed unity trail and the various concerns expressed. It appeared the main concern was on which side of the Spur Highway the trail would be placed. Additional concerns included the many driveways entering the Spur, traffic, safety, patrol, maintenance, etc. Frates indicated he would be reluctant to offer any maintenance unless he had the equipment to do so.

She noted, the process to sell the property had begun. 5-b. Discussion -- Flower Boxes Director Frates reminded the Committee that during their last meeting they discussed having the wooden flower boxes sandblasted to renew the look of the wood. He noted he spoke with city maintenance staff who recommended power washing the boxes instead as it would be easier to regulate than sandblasting. Frates stated he would have the boxes power washed. Swarner reported she spoke with a member of the Anchorage Beautification Committee who attended the AML Conference. She learned they have a category for the most unusual container in their beautification contest, i.e. bathtubs, wheelbarrows, wagons, boots, etc. Swarner suggested this category could be added to the Chamber's contest categories. Frates suggested this item be included on the Committee's next agenda. Dimmick suggested an old gold dredge could be used by the gold rush sign at the Visitors Center. Brown stated she had one that she would donate. Discussion -- Multi-Purpose Facility/Summer Events Frates noted, he understood from the Committee's last meeting, the Committee was interested in holding only one gardening/vendor event at the facility next summer. Dimmick suggested holding an event the end of May and if it was successful, hold another later in August. Overturf noted she spends many days in May and early June planting for the city and then plants her own gardens. She added, she would not have time to help organize an event in May. Overturf suggested other groups organize the event, i.e. the Parks & Recreation Commission. Overturf also noted, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe had tried several times over the years to have a gardening event and it was not always well-attended due to a lack of interest. Frates stated he would get in touch with Leah Spaulding at the Tribe as she was going to discuss the potential of moving the Farmers' Market to Kenai with that group. It was agreed the matter should be included on the next meeting's agenda. Discussion followed regarding the best time of the summer to have an event and what it could include. Frates stated he would develop a plan and discuss the idea with vendors in the area. He also noted the date of an event would be determined by the weather and how soon the ice would be melted out of the facility. It was suggested an event should be held on a Saturday from 10'00 a.m. to 4'00 p.m. ITEM 6' NEW BUSINESS~ Discussion -- Adopt-An-Area Program BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER 9, 1999 Page 2 Frates stated he wanted to discuss this idea in order to formalize the process and then actively pursue businesses, service organizations, etc. in early spring to adopt an area. It was suggested a letter be forwarded to local businesses and organizations in March as well as making a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce which would be good advertisement and could spark interest. It was suggested the presentation be made two months prior to the annual volunteer orientation event which would allow the businesses and organizations to choose areas. The areas left could be presented to volunteers to choose an area. Frates suggested signs could be made to post in the areas being cared for by the service organizations, etc. He suggested they could be made of plastic or wood. Signs made of similar materials as political signs were suggested as that material is able to withstand wi~d and ram and could be fairly inexpensive. Generating interest in volunteering was discussed and Frates suggested a voucher system, i.e. for every five hours (example) a person works with the Committee, an hour would be spent by the Committee members helping the volunteer at their home. The idea was discussed and it was determined it would be really difficult to keep track and do. D_immick stated she would discuss the possibility of ir~volving the Summer Youth Employment program in working in the gardens, etc. She stated she would investigate the possibility of including the gardening work in their grant request. It was requested the matter be included on the next agenda for further discussion and development of the presentation. Discussion -- Yard-of-the-Week Pro~ram Swarner noted she did not bring the article regarding the yard-of-the-week program, but would forward it to Frates for the next meeting's agenda. Frates requested the members bring ideas for signs to the next meeting as well. -C. Discussion -- Winter Meetings The Committee requested council cancel their December meeting. Their next meeting would be on January 11, 2000. It was noted, seed selection, banner designs, etc. are discussed and decided normally during the ,January meeting as well.

He noted there were several trees yet to be wrapped and they would be after receipt of more wrappm§ material. Lighted Animal Scenes -- Frates reported the Chamber was still investigating the possibility of purchasing a lighted animal display for the Park. It was noted a religious scene would not be appropriate on public property. Hospice Remembrance Tree -- Frates reported he received a letter from Hospice asking if there would be interest to place a remembrance tree at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park from December 5 to January 6. He explained, w/th a $10.00 donation to Hospice, someone could hang a star on the tree in remembrance of a loved one. While the Committee agreed it was a very nice idea and had no objections to it, there was concern the matter should be discussed with the city attorney to be sure there would be no le§al problems in having the tree in the Park. School Dances -- Frates reported the Recreation Center was busy hosting several school dances. He noted, a Middle School dance and D.A.R.E. presentation by Firefighter Diorec and Officer Carver during Red Ribbon Week were well attended. Frates also noted if the members were interested, they were always looking for chaperones for the dances. He added, the high school would be holding a dance on November 19. Kenai Municipal Cemetery -- Frates reported the cemetery sign had been removed and a new one was being built by Garland Buffmgton and would be placed by the end of the month. Frates also reported the gates had been straightened during the summer and a new fence may be discussed during budget meetings. He noted, the old sign would be stored. Cross Country Skiing -- Frates distributed cross-country skiing brochures which would be made available at the Recreation Center and schools. He noted instructional programs were being developed for adults and children from ages 10-14. There would be no cost to the city in offering the classes. In giving the lessons, the hope was to generate interest in developing a Nordic Ski Club in the community. Kenai City Council Liaison Bulb Planting -- Swamer reported she and other Committee members planted bulbs at Leif Hansen Memorial Park. BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER 9, 1999 Page 4 Banners -- Swarner reported she attended the AML Conference and the city's banners were used to decorate the Sports Center.

ITEM 8: OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Brown -- Reported her term as Director of the Kenai Arts & Humanities Council would be ending. She asked the members if they knew of someone interested in the position, to have them contact the Council. She noted, she had enrolled in some college classes and could miss some Beautification Committee meetings. Brown stated she would oversee the next banner project, but after that it would be taken over by another. She noted, she had prepared instructions for whoever takes over the project. Hansen -- Suggested additional public restrooms with running water be placed in the downtown area. A lengthy discussion took place regarding areas where restrooms could be placed. Suggested areas were the ice facility, FAA property {across from Leif Hansen Park) and Leif Hansen Park. Swamer explained restrooms were planned for the ice facility in a future phase. At this time, port-a-potties would be made available. It was noted the Parks & Recreation Commission would be the appropriate group with whom the matter should be discussed. It was suggested a letter of request be submitted to Frates for inclusion in a Parks & Recreation Commission agenda. Frates also suggested members of the Committee attend the Commission meeting to discuss their request. Frates noted the city's public restrooms are closed during winter months as they are not heated.

He added, his initial plan was to build a clinic of 3,300 to 3,500 square feet with the possibility of expansion in the future. The expected cost for the building was $500,000. Williams noted, council needed to consider the tax base development of the property would bring and asked if the Planning & Zoning Commission had discussed that concept. Bannock answered no. Bookey stated he believed the property to be very valuable and didn't think the assisted living project would ever develop. He added, he believed the council should go forward with the ordinance and let Zirul develop the property. Moore asked why it was thought Parks & Recreation should comment on the use of the property. Hultberg stated he was not speaking for the Commission and did not think the use of the property had anything to do with the Commission. Swarner noted one of the Beautification Committee members thought the property should be held from development and used as a park area. Swarner added, she told the Committee she did not think council would support the purchase of the lot by the General Fund from the Airport Fund. Councilman Frazer questioned the viability of developing a park on the property when Memorial Park was just across the street. Bannock noted the Planning & Zoning Commission's debate centered on the fact it was city property and whether the highest and best use of the property would be gamed by keeping it in city ownership or deciding it was not needed for public use. He added, the Commission did not see a compelling reason or anything in the near future that would better serve the public and recommended it be put into private hands. KENAI CITY CouNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 4 Ross explained, council f~rst needed to decide whether the property would be needed for public use. After that determination, the code would be followed as to the public process involved in the purchase of the property. He noted, the value noted in the ordinance was the Borough assessed value. An appraisal would be made to determine the fair market price. He added, after review of the appraisal, Zirul would have the option of proceeding with his application. At the time of the sale, Zirul would have the ability to meet or beat the highest bid received. Bob Peters -- Old Town, Kenai. Peters noted his son, Mathew is a member of the Parks & Recreation Commission. His son received a letter from the City soliciting a comment from him as a member of the Commission. Peters added, his son was reluctant in making a comment, but forwarded one (attached to the ordinance and included in the packet). Peters stated his son was concerned whether there would be land available for public use for the future. Bannock explained, he requested the Commission receive information on the matter and be asked for their comments because there would not be a Commission meeting prior to the council meeting when the ordinance would be at public hearing. VOTE: Booke¥: Bannock: Yes Yes Swarner: lyes Frazer: Yes Moore: Williams: Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2o Resolution No. 99-60 -- Supporting the Development of Natural Gas Resources in the Wolf Lake Area of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 99-60 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Williams explained Marathon Oil Company was in the process of further developing property in Nikiski and had applied for gas line permits to enhance other lines in the area. They requested a resolution in support of their efforts from the council. Because the federal hearing was delayed in regard to the permits, Williams stated, the resolution's release to the appropriate agencies would be held until after the hearings. VOTE: Councilman Bannock requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 5 ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging -- Councilwoman Swamer reported a meeting would be held on November 17, at 10:00 a.m., at the Senior Center. She noted the new wheelchair van and coordinated transportation were among the topics to be discussed. D-2. Airport Commission -- Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the last Commission meeting were included in the packet. D-3. Harbor Commission -- Councilman Bookey reported the next meeting was scheduled for Monday, November 8 at 7'00 p.m. D-4. Library Commission -- Councilman Moore reported the Commission met on the prior evening. He reminded council and audience of the Friends of the Library Book Sale scheduled for the week. He also reported a storage area at the Senior Center was found for the Peninsula Clarion collection. The Commission, when noting the Clarions would.be stored out of the library building, there was obsolete equipment being stored in the library building. The Commission asked if they could offer these items for sale instead of holding them for a future auction. Moore noted the Library's annual holiday party had been scheduled for December 9 and a children's holiday party was scheduled for December 5. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED to donate $500 for the Library Open House to be held on December 9. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Moore also reported the Commission's-student liaison developed a school survey regarding students' use of the library. The survey, he noted, would be distributed to the local schools. D-5. Parks/is Recreation Commission -- Councilman Frazer reported the next meeting was scheduled for November 4 at 7:00 p.m. and would be held in council chambers. D-6. Planning/is Zoning Commission -- Councilman Bannock reported there was no business on the agenda and there was no quorum for the meeting. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-7a. Beautification Committee -- Swarner reported the next meeting would be held on November 9, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the council chambers. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 6 D-7b. Historic District Board -- Moore reported the next meeting was scheduled for December 20. He noted, he hoped to hear responses from council in time for the meeting in regard to the Board's suggestion of the purchase of the old Fish & Wildlife property from whomever purchased the property from the Kenai Natives Association (KNA) and the development of a video of Old Town by high school students. He noted, the suggestion was the schools produce the videos at their own cost, but a prize of $1,000 would be donated by the city. Williams requested Diana Zirul, a past director of the KNA, to speak to the question regarding the purchase of the Old Town property. Zirul noted, KNA acquired the property through a land exchange with the federal government and she was unaware of any sale of the property. Williams noted, it took years for KNA to acquire the property from the federal government and he was also unaware of their desire to sell it. Bookey stated he did some research on the subject and found the properW was still owned by KNA. Wi!l/ams nOted there were three lots for sale in Old Town in that general vicinity. He suggested those could be investigated if the city wants to acquire additional property. Bookey stated he believed the land in Old Town should stay in private hands. He added, if the Historic District Board wanted to purchase property in Old Town, they should investigate a way to raise funds in order to make the purchase. Moore asked if council was interested in the video development proposal. Williams stated he believed it was a good idea, but the prize money would have to be discussed. He suggested including the item on the next meeting agenda and request Board members to attend and address the proposed project. Swarner suggested the matter be held to the December 1 meeting since Government Day was scheduled for the next council meeting. There were no objections. D-7C. Kenai Visitors/l~ Convention Bureau Board -- Bookey noted minutes of the Board's last two meetings were included in the packet for council review. D-7d. Alaska Municipal League Report -- Wi!l/ams reported the conference preparations were coming along. Williams referred to applications for possible appointment to the Harbor and Planning & Zoning Commissions from Katie Peters and Amy Jackman, which were included in the packet {Peters' application was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting). Williams stated he would support the appointment of Jackman to the Planning & Zoning Commission as the Commission needed new blood and Jackman stated her interest in doing the work and serving. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 7 It was noted dackman was in the audience. Councilman Moore asked Jackman how she would have handled the question of city property not needed for public use discussed in Ordinance No. 1843-99. Jackman answered, she thought that if the city did not think there was a need for the property for public use, it should be sold. Bookey noted there was another application that came before council for review from Don Gough who also ran for council in the last election. He added, it was his understanding no appointments would be made until the full council was seated. Williams noted, he was informed another seat may be available in the near future. Frazer stated he didn't have a problem in making an appointment at this time. Moore stated he agreed with Bookey. Williams appointed Amy Jackman to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Jackman thanked council for the appointment. Williams stated Gough's application would be held for consideration at a future date. Williams noted Katie Peters' application for appointment to the Harbor Commission. It was noted Peters was a junior at KCHS and under the age of 18. Moore noted council had decided that if a position was open and an application was available, a person under age 18 could be considered. Williams appointed Katie Peters to the Harbor Commission. ITEM E: MINUTES Regular Meeting of October 20, 1999. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRF~PONDENCE-- None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS-- None. ITEM H: H-Xo MOTION: NEW BUSINESS Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 8 Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to pay the bills over $2,500 and Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Purchase Orders Exceeding/12,500 MOTION: Councilwoman Swamer MOVED for approval of the purchase orders exceeding $2,500 and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-3o Approval -- Certification of Local Government Approval for Non-Profit Organizations/Kenai-Soldotna Women's Resource & Crisis Center. Ross referred to the letter of request included in the packet and explained the WRCC was applying for a grant. He added, council would not normally see these requests, however this one required the city to approve the grant. He noted, although the grant had not been finalized, he was requesting council's approval so that when the grant was ready, he would have the authorization to sign the certification statement. Ross added, he requested a synopsis of the grant request which was included in the WRCC cover letter. Swarner explained she was employed by the WRCC, but did not think any of the funds from the grant would be used toward her salary. Moore asked if the procedure would incur difficulties in the city's audit if the WRCC was not in compliance with the grant. Finance Director Semmens answered, he did not think so as the city was only stating they liked the project. Swarner noted WRCC had received like grants in previous years. Williams suggested council approve the certification. There were no objections from council. Approval -- Zecee Crow Lease Rescission City Attorney Graves explained Crow was behind in the lease payments and wanted to enter into a lease payment plan. He noted, the issue for council was whether they wanted to consider someone current in a lease if they were current in a lease payment plan. He added, council had not dealt with this question before and asked if they want to rescind the lease. Bookey asked if this was allowed for liquor license renewals/transfers and Graves answered yes. Bookey suggested the city should take the property back and start over. Moore asked if Crow had vacated the property and Graves explained, nothing KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 9 had been done with the property and Crow had no plan to do anything with the property. Frazer stated he was familiar with the matter and urged council to rescind the lease as outlined in Graves' memorandum included in the packet. MOTION: Councilman Frazer MOVED to approve the termination of the Zecee Crow lease as outlined by the city attorney and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM I: ,ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. Vinage of Lights -- Williams thanked staff who placed the lights on the buildings, at the parks, etc. for the Village of Lights celebration. b. AMI, Conference -- Williams requested as many council members as possible attend the awards banquet on Monday. He thanked the senior citizens, ARFF, airport, finance, fire department staffs who helped in preparation for the conference. c. Juvenile Detention Facility-- Williams noted a public hearing would be held on the site for the facility at the Borough building on Thursday evening. He urged council's participation. d. Economic Development District -- Williams reported the EDD was considering two applicants for the EDD director position. He noted both applicants were very well-equipped in background and education. He added, they would be interv/e~g for the position in the next several days. 1-2. City Manager a. Kenai Municipal Code Update -- Ross reported he had received most of the suggested changes to the code from department heads. He, City Attorney Graves and the department head involved would be reviewing the submittals during the next week. Ross added, he hoped to have some of the suggestions to council at the December 1 council meeting. He noted, some of the changes would first be reviewed and considered by the Planning & Zoning Commission. Ross added, the process would be ongoing through the winter months. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 10 b. Kenai River Special Management Area Board -- Ross reported the final plan had been published and he was surprised and pleased to see the city's su§§ested langua§e chart§es were included in the document. He noted, the Board wanted the cities to approve the document, however he believed council should not do this because there were items included in the document that affected areas over which the City of Kenai had no jurisdiction. He recommended council address the parts of the document that affect the city when they review the Comprehensive Plan. Ross added, that would be the position he would take with the Board unless council objected. He noted, the Comprehensive Plan would be reviewed next winter. There were no objections. c. Juvenile Detention Facility-- Ross reported the state was looking for a site for the facility and council expressed an interest several years ago. Since then, the state decided they wanted ten acres for the facility and room to expand which narrowed the city's available property to that along Marathon Road. He noted, as previously mentioned by the Mayor, a public hearing would be held at the Borough building on Thursday evening. Ross stated, at the hearing, the State wanted testimony from neighbors who might be concerned about the site selected, including elected officials. He added, Lt. Kohler was representing the city on the selection committee. Ross noted, a copy of the site selection document was distributed to council for their review and indicated the discussion of the Marathon Road site was included on Page 9. He also stated it was unknown at this time whether funding would be available for the facility. Ross added, if the city's ten acres was chosen as the site, the General Fund would have to purchase the property from the Airport Fund. d. Airport Car Rental Leases RFP -- Ross noted the draft RFP was included in the packet as Information Item No. 1. He explained, currently there were three car rental agency lessees in the airport terminE. In the past, the Airport Commission recommended not going beyond three vendors. He added, five spaces were going to be for a five-year lease period. Because of the need to bid on the amount of rentals based on enplanements, the bidders needed to have some idea if they would be bidding against five or more, etc. Ross stated they checked at other airports for the number of spaces being leased. Airport Manager Cronkhite noted they learned the philosophy was to have fewer spaces than interested vendors. She added, to their knowledge, enough spaces were being offered to satisfy all the interested parties. Williams asked if "enough spaces" meant five or the three, plus the small booth, currently being used. Cronkhite answered, there was a potential for five bidders and they were offering five spaces. This was based on contacts made to them. Ross added, the bidders would be expected to bid an annual minimum and the high-bid minimum would be how the slots are selected. The revenues would still be based on space rent plus ten percent gross. The lessees would be paying a monthly space rent, ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 11 plus 1 / 12 of the annual minimum or ten percent of the gross, whichever was higher. Once a vendor reaches the annual minimum, then it would be ten percent of the gross for the remainder of the year. Ross noted, that was an attempt to not end up with the lessee paying more than ten percent because the' minimum could be beyond that for some of the slow months in the winter. Ross added, the advertising document would state that if a vendor leaves because of lack of business (which has happened in the past), the city would not necessarily automatically f~ll the space. Administration would make a recommendation and the Airport Commission and council would then address the matter. He added, if a vendor left due to lack of revenues, there could be discussion by council to cut the rate, expand the vacant spaces, etc. He noted, the city was also in business and rate- cutting was detrimental to revenue received by the airport. He noted, the options of cutting the rate or filling any returned spaces were included in the document. Ross stated they hoped to have an opening in February. Bookey asked if there was a preference to the existing lessees as to location. Ross answered, the bidders would bid a minimum guarantee. The high minimum bidder would select their spot. The current lessees could be moving to another space. Bannock stated he appreciated the document being included in the packet and noted he had some requests. He noted some changes had been made between when the Airport Com__mission reviewed the document and this council meeting. One of the matters that arose from the Commission's discussion had already been changed in the document. Referring to Page 2, Section "Or" (b) and (c) and 1-4, he noted the document discussed for what the city would be collecting the ten percent. He referred to (4) which read, "Sales or fees for automobile liability insurance and personal accident insurance." Bannock stated he believed that item should not be included with those items the city would collect a commission. He suggested (4) be placed at (d) "No deductions from gross sales, other than those specifically identified below shall be allowed:" Ross stated Bannock was correct in that some of the items were changed after the CommiSsion's review and because of their input. He noted the "lost damage and waiver insurance" was moved to where it would not be considered as part of the gross. As a result of that, Cronkhite reviewed what other Alaska airports were doing. Bannock asked for Councilman Frazer's comments as he was a member of the insurance profession. Frazer noted he was not sure how public entities were involved in this, but to share in insurance commissions, earnings, etc. would not be allowed without the person receiving the commission having a license to sell insurance. He suggested this be investigated prior to including it in the lease. Ross noted, the city wOuld be taking ten percent of the gross revenues as a portion of rent and was not putting itself in the insurance business. He noted, this was not new IZ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 12 to the document as it had been done the same in the past ten years or more. He added, the city considers the insurance as part of gross and was done elsewhere. Williams noted, as a municipality didn't have to adhere to the rules and regulations of the state regarding various businesses, i.e. real estate, because the law allows the city's attorney to do the work. In the matter of insurance, he believed it would be seen that the city was not selling insurance and because under Title 29 it was allowed. Cronkhite reported they reviewed contracts nationwide within the industry. She added, they coordinated extensively with the current car rental agencies in the terminal and made many changes in the document based on those conversations. Cronkhite added, the document was not changed from the previous contract and the current lessees pay a ten percent commission on insurance sales. She noted, they had questioned the loss/damage waiver and it was moved to "no deductions..." as it was not considered a profitable insurance sale that didn't qualify. Cronkhite continued, the loss/damage waiver placement in the contract varied throughout the state and nationally, however it was very common and accepted by airport commissions, municipalities and other entities running airports as a business. Bannock noted he still believed it should be removed. Bannock also referred to page 3, Section 5, Revenue Diversion. He noted, the paragraph had been changed substantially since the Commission review. He noted, he believed it an "anti-cheating" paragraph, i.e. if an organization was a "concessionaire in the airport while at the same time established, owned or operated another rental business within five miles of the airport, it agreed to make all books, records, and other pertinent documents available, etc." He asked, what was the standard and what would be looked at and how could it be determined what diversion was or was not, i.e. if the car rental company at the airport also was affiliated with a car rental agency within a five-mile radius of it, what, in the event of an audit, could the city use to establish that rental business had been diverted from the airport to the off-site location to escape the ten percent commission. Ross stated administration struggled with the same question and was aware that it is known when it is seen, but sometimes hard to describe. He noted, the easiest would be if there was a concessionaire at the airport who was rUnning a van, picking up people and taking them to the off-premises location to rent cars. He added, a tape recording could be attached to their 800 number, etc. In investigating this item, Ross noted, Cronkhite spoke with representatives from other airports and learned this was an evolving area in which all the criteria, problems, and loopholes had not yet been developed. The best advice that was given was to stay with this statement (from the FAA guidelines) and if it is thought it is taking place, let people know it is believed it is happening and be ready to look at all the new an innovative ways it could happen. Cronkhite added, this wording was much the same as the FAA Revenue Diversion paragraph, however, they did not define it or give examples. Bannock stated he KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 13 appreciated the work involved in trying to define the paragraph, but it created a bit of "gray area" for interpretation. Bannock referred to page 1, paragraph A, Purpose. He stated he absolutely despised the idea of the city limiting the number of car rental lessees and would not support that type of a program. He added, he thought council had reviewed the matter some time prior and believed the council made the decision that it would not limit the number of potential clients that would come to the airport to "sell their wares." Bannock noted, he appreciated the architecture of the building and that it was structured for five lessees. Ross noted, administration had struggled with this item as well, but the terminal was designed for five lessees. He added, it was not an attempt to be anti-competitive. A proposal would be developed during the year for access charges to allow other organizations to come in and compete in the airport business through transporting to off-premises businesses. Ross noted, the lease comes open every five years and based on demand, the council could say there would be six spaces available. Ross stated, he believed five spaces was a reasonable number and that a bidder would be able to know how to bid. If the number was unlimited, it would be very hard for a bidder to figure out what a minimum bid would be over the next five years or whether they could determine if their business could survive. Ross recommended the five-space structuring remain. Juvenile Detention Facility -- Swamer referred back to the juvenile detention facility discussion and noted she would not be able to attend the public hearing. She asked that whoever attended, they should stress the airport was open 24 hours a day and the proposed site was close to the airport. Ross noted, they had heard from administration and were now wanting to hear from the public, council, etc. It was determined Mayor Williams would be attending the hearing and would mention Swarner's comment. Car Rental Document -- Williams asked if the little space at the end of the counters would be included in the bidding. Airport Manager Cronkhite answered, they intended to lease the spaces as they were originally designed, i.e. five spaces. She added, the booth was normally used for other purposes. They wanted to have council be aware the language in the contract limited the spaces to five. Williams noted that if a convention center/hotel is built, additional spaces may be needed and the terminal may need to be reconfigured. He agreed with the document as it was presented. Bannock explained he agreed with the logic administration used in developing the RFP, however he asked how many airlines the terminal was configured for at present. Williams answered, any number; even ten if they offered the funding. Bannock noted, the airlines could not be limited and added, if there was a market, the city would make space available for the market. He suggested council use the same mentality in considering restaurant, car rental, gift shop businesses, etc. Williams noted, if ten IZ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 14 airlines wanted space in the terminal, the carriers would have a tremendous input as to who builds what, how it's built, etc. He added, that was not the case with car rental agencies. Bannock stated, with the draft document, it needed to be asked if the city limits enterprise. He added, the document says "yes," enterprise would be limited in regard to car rental agencies. Bannock asked council to treat the rental of the spaces as if they were airlines. Cronkhite noted, free enterprise would not be limited with the document. The bidders were being given a set time on which to bid. She added, they could not ask for competitive bids as it was necessary to let the bidders know on what they were bidding. (Cronkhite also noted this was the first time the spaces were being let through a competitive bid. This was because there was now demand to do so.) She added, she could not tell the bidders to make a five-year financial commitment to whatever the .city wanted to do; they needed to know on what they were bidding. Cronkhite added, they were not limiting spaces for the future, etc. It was only for the life of the contract (five years). I-3. Atter~ey -- Graves reported he would be attending Alaska Municipal Attorneys meetings on Friday and Saturday and would join the Borough Attorney in a presentation regarding municipal protests of liquor licenses for non-payment of off-site taxes. He explained, the city and borough had been dealing with this matter for some time. I-4o City Clerk -- No report. I-5o Finance Director-- No report. Public Works Managers Kornelis a. Forest Drive Upgrade Project -- Komelis reported he inquired about the bid opening for the Forest Drive upgrade and learned the state was still working on the utility agreements. The project would be going to bid in the spring. b. Street Light Placement -- Komelis noted the street light for East Aliak (requested several weeks prior) had been installed and it cost $25 because there was a secondary power and pole available. Bookey noted he read where the Forest Drive project was to go to bid on November 20. Komelis stated he spoke with the project manager and was who told him they were still working on the utility agreement with Enstar. Bookey noted he had seen the advertisement in the Alaska Journal of Commerce. La Shot-- No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES. NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 15 I-7. Airport Manager -- Airport Manager Cronkhite reported the banner was purchased and would be hung in the airport terminal to welcome AML Conference attendees. A welcome table would also. be placed where information would be disseminated. It was noted, the table would be staffed by volunteering senior citizens. ITEM J: DISCUSSION ,, J-1. Citizens Bob Peters -- Refemng to the car rental lease areas, Peters asked if the current lessees pay more for the 1V~_ spaces rented. Ross answered, approximately one year prior, two of the operators asked to increase their spaces into vacant spaces and council approved. The lessees agreed to pay the additional space floor rental fee and continued their ten percent. Those lessees would be giving up the extra space. J-2. Council Bookey-- No comments. Swarner -- Noted the council chamber was cold during the meeting. Swarner also noted the Senior Center directional sign which was situated at the Leif Hansen Park was down. Swarner also thanked Bob Peters for his children's willingness to serve the city. Moore -- No comments. Bannock a. Challenger Board Renewals -- Noted he would not be in attendance at the November 17 council meeting. He requested council make renewal assignments for himself and Williams as Challenger board members at the November 17 meeting. b. AMI, Presentation -- Bannock referred to the presentation Williams and Semmens made at the beginning of the meeting and suggested the planned new maintenance facility should be added at "Planned Future Developments." c. Peninsula Offers Water/Sewer Issue -- Bannock noted approximately three meetings prior, Ross brought the water/sewer issue at Offers Park to the council. Bannock asked for an update to the issue. Ross noted, discussions had been held with Mike Baxter, Director of the Peninsula Offers and he told him the city would be seeking a regulation change to better fit outdoor recreational parks that have primary summer uses and very little use of a sewer system. Ross added, the proposed regulation would be drafted and probably come before council at their November 17 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1999 PAGE 16 meeting. He noted, the regulation would require these types of facilities to have a two- inch line during the summer and it would also establish a year-round rate. Bannock requested the matter be held until the December 1 meeting since he would not be present at the November 17 meeting. Ross stated administration had no objection to hold the item to the December 1 meeting. Frazer-- No comments.

The All-America City Award is a program of the National Civic League sponsored by Allstate Insurance Company National Civic League Headquartered in Denver. Colorado. the National Civic League (NCL) is a 105-year-old non-vrofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to strengthen- ing citizen democracy by transforming democratic institutions. NCL accomplishes irs mission through technical assistance, training, publishing, research, and the All-America Citv Awards. the nation's oldest and most prestigious community recognition gram. The National Civic League was founded in 1894, when more than 100 educators, journalists, business leaders, and policy makers met in Philadelphia to discuss the future of American cities. Among those who attended the two- day conference were Theodore Roosevelt, Louis Brandeis, Marshall Field, and Frederic Law Olmstead. The gathering was organized in response to widespread municipal government cor- ruvtion and served as a nationwide call to "raise the popular standards of volir- ical morality." The All-America City Award, which since 1949 has recognized the efforts of extraordinary communities, is perhaps the best known NCL pro- gram. Each year, in partnership with Allstate Insurance Company, the National Civic League honors ten com- munities for effectively addressing their most critical challenges. Through the Alliance for National Renewal, a coalition of more than 300 local and national organizations dedi- cated to the principles of civic renewal. NCL shares stories of innovative com- munity problem solving efforts and offers assistance to citizens working together to imvrove their communities. The National Civic League works directly with communities though the Denver-based Community Assistance Team and the Washington. D.C.-based Program for Community Problem NATIONAL CIVIC LEAGUE. Solving. Both programs pro- vide professional technical assistance to communities through an array of services including problem soiving,. strategic planning, program implementation, perfor- mance measurement, and charter reform. The New Politics Program, NCL's newest initiative, recognizes and pro- motes innovative reform efforts implemented at the local level. The first project for the New Politics Program was to develop a menu of model cam- paign finance reform measures, based on the experience of local communities across the country. Over the years, the NCL Press has published numerous manuals for local governance and administrative reform, including the Model City Charter. the Handbook For Council Members. the Guide for Charter Commissions, the Handbook for Strategic Planning and Visioning, and 'the Civic Index. In addi- tion, for 88 years, N CL's quarterly journal, the National Civic Review, has provided thoughtful commentary and discussion on issues affecting citizen involvement in government and com- munity problem solving.

As such, projects included in the application should address the community's most critical needs, and. should fully reflect its unique diversity. These realities will be reflected, in part, by your community's background information, both in terms of your "Community Statistics" and the narrative you choose to present describing your community.

Informa- tion on your community may be available from a variety of national and local sources, including: U.S. Census Bureau, http:llwww.¢ensus.go¥1. Community Background Narrative. Approach the Community Background nar- rative as an opportunity to tell your community's story. Have major projects ' been undertaken which respond to central challenges within your community? Have projects benefitted and involved the community, as a whole? Do citizens from ali sectors'of the community participate in planning and implementing the nrograms? Were problem-solving processes inclusive, open and collaborative from the beginning? Do projects cut creatively across sectors within the com- munity or multiple communities? Be specific about your gain at each level. Provide evidence of recent constructive results and concrete examples to docu- ment your community's successes (for instance, how many benefitted, how many jobs were created?). Use both the award criteria and the Civic Index com- ponents as guidelines for presenting your community's story. Part I1' Civic Infrastructure Central to the National Civic League's approach to the issue of civic excellence is the concept of "civic infrastructure." Analogous to the physical infrastructure of a community--its roads, bridges and buildings~is an equally critical civic infra- structure, which is vitally important to the future of the community and equally m need of neriodic maintenance and revision. Civic infrastructure is a qualita- tive concept intended for use in evaluating the social and political fabric of a community,: how decisions are made, how citizens interact with one another and government, and how challenges to the communi~ are met. 2C- ' ',:-z~'er,ca C~ty AIDpJ~cat~on ~nstrtsc..'.~ons Learn h'om t2revious AAC i'Vinners and Finalisrs--orde~' .&4C Yearbooks h'om uas~ veo~':' rFom i', ~. ~ch ~arbook h~- case s~udies of and rwenn, Finaiis~s in ~t,ofos at~ ' ~ho~os.

CITY OF KENA! 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 ~ 1992 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM' DATE: RE: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Carol L. Freas,~ City C!e~k City of Kenai ~b~ November 12, 1~9 NOVE~ER 17, 1999 COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA As you are aware, your meeting on November 17, 1999 is also Student Government Day. Because of confusion that could arise for the students, there are three items on your November 17 agenda which do not appear on the students' agenda. They are Ordinance No. 1844-99, Resolution No. 99-62 and Resolution No. 99-65. The reason they could be confusing is because the ordinance will need to be introduced, have its second reading, and passed on the same evening, unless council decides to table it to go through the normal steps. If the ordinance is tabled, City Manager Ross would also want Resolutions No. 62 and 65 tabled because the ordinance appropriates some of the funding to cover contracts being awarded by the resolutions. The students will attend to the calling to order, pledge, etc. and then Resolutions No. 61, 63 and 64. After making their reports, the students' portion of the agenda will be completed and a break will be taken. When council resumes the meeting, you will complete the public hearings (Ordinance No. 1844-99, Resolutions 99-62 and 99-65). All the items will be included on the portion of the agenda that is advertised in the paper. Remember, during the portion of the meeting with the studentS, action will be considered by the students and then the council for each separate resolution. In the past, a motion to ratify actions of the students (or make adjustments) is considered by council after resuming the meeting. If you have questions, please call me. I will be going to the school on Monday morning to discuss the format, etc. with the students which may help them in their meeting roll on Wednesday night. CCi Department Heads
